OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED

Read this entire manual before using this launcher. Keep your launcher pointed in a safe direction at all times.

1. SAFETY - Place the FSC™ in safe mode by pushing the safety button so no red is visible.

* Visible red indicates that launcher

will discharge.

2. UNLOADING MAGAZINE - Ensure there are no projectiles in the launcher by placing your hand under the magazine, pressing the magazine release, and pulling the magazine free from the FSC™. Look inside the grip of FSC™ and ensure that no projectiles remain in the chamber or barrel area. Visually inspect the projectile viewport to ensure that no projectiles are visible.

3. REMOVING THE BARREL - Verify that no projectiles remain

in the chamber area of the barrel by pressing on the end of the barrel and turning counterclockwise. The barrel can then be removed by pulling it out of the receiver. Note the channel in the barrel and the barrel lock in the receiver as it slides free. To reattach the barrel, align the channel with the barrel lock, slide the barrel back into the receiver, push on the end of the barrel, and turn clockwise until the barrel locks into place. Pull on the end of the barrel to ensure it is properly seated.

FSC CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARRANTY & REPAIRS

CLEANING

• Never perform maintenance on a loaded or pressurized FSC Pistol

• Remove all projectiles from the magazine and marker prior to doing any cleaning or maintenance. Never use petroleum based cleaning solvents or lubricants.

• Do not use cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.

• To clean the FSC Pistol, remove the barrel as described in the “Operational Instructions”. Use a .68 caliber soft nylon brush or 12 gauge patch tip with a soft cotton cloth to clean the barrel. Do not place lubricant or water in the barrel of the FSC Pistol. It is designed to be used with the barrel completely dry. This is a great time to check the ball detents for any wear or damage.

• Wipe off any dirt or grime from the outside of the FSC Pistol with a dry cloth.

OILING THE MARKER

IMPORTANT: Before performing any of the following instructions, remove magazine. Point marker in safe direction and discharge until degassed.

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, DO THE FOLLOWING MONTHLY:

• Place 2 drops of NON-PETROLEUM BASED synthetic paintball marker oil into the top end of the CO

Cavity of your FSC Magazine before installing the air source. When the marker gases up the air will blow the oil through out the internals of the marker.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

• The operational temperature range for the FSC Pistol is 37° F to 120°F.

• The FSC Pistol is designed to operate on a minimum of 800psi of air pressure. If you choose to run a remote, double check your tank output pressure by using a First Strike Air Pressure Kit(Sold Seperatly).

TROUBLESHOOTING

PAINT BREAKAGE

If you experience more than a small number of broken paintballs, check the following:

1. First, be sure that the marker is free of broken paintballs and other debris.

2. Second, make sure that the barrel is locked in its correct position, and that both detents are

installed so that they catch a projectile as it enters the breach.

3. Third, make sure the maker is set to a reasonable velocity (never over 300 ft. per sec.)

4. Check bolt assembly. Remove bolt from upper receiver and check for bad o-rings or debris

5. Check magazine for debris.

6. Load rounds in magazine (without CO2 cartridge installed) and engage PROJECTILE

RETAINER PIN - conﬁrm that rounds can be ejected from the magazine without issue.

MY FSC HAS LOW VELOCITY OR DOES NOT FIRE!

1. If running a remote, make sure your output pressire is above 800psi and is

functioning properly.

2. Remove bolt from upper receiver, and re-install. The FSC is designed to not function

if the bolt is installed incorrectly.
